A report of wildlife sightings from the western edge of Maidstone, Kent. I note anything of interest in the vicinity of my home in Barming and from walks into work at the East Malling Research Station along the edge of Barming Woods and down to Ditton. Occasionally, when time allows, I get out to Ditton Quarry, a rich habitat hemmed in by residential and industrial developments on one side, but with open countryside on the other.

Thursday 3rd May

A quick trip to East Farleigh at 07:30 under overcast skies didn't show up any Med Gulls in a much reduced gull flock of 4x LBB Gulls and 20x BH Gulls.

No walk in nor trip to the quarry at lunchtime, so had to be satisfied with a lone Swallow on the wires at the junction of Kiln Barn Lane/Sweets Lane, Ditton on my way home.

Blog is looking really good Adam. Interested in the small Copper - I haven't seen one locally for a long time - and never had one at New Hythe. Your Man Orchid pic has reminded me to try my local site for them......
